Lovely woods surround this handsome contemporary, originally conceived as an artist's studio and gallery, then expanded and finished by a master carpenter. This home is bathed in natural light through massive windows, allowing passive solar gain. With custom interior and exterior lighting systems, you can display your collection on the soaring walls, and watch the lights and shadows play through the beautiful landscaping outside. Enjoy a peaceful snowfall while you cozy up to the woodstove in the great room. An expansive, updated custom gourmet kitchen opens to a casual dining area with sliders to the deck, and space to create a more formal, elevated dining area. So much flexibility in this layout: use the first floor bedroom as a craft room or office with two more bedrooms and another full bath upstairs. There's the ''cloffice'' for you work-at -home aficionados, and a reading nook/sun room upstairs. All of this peace is just 20 minutes from Portland.
